usually simple, the slender zigzag rachis densely grey-downy ; 
bracts erecto-patent, short petioled, deeply cordate, J-lin. . long, 
obscurely cuspidate in the typical form. Calyx Jin., finely 
pilose ; teeth lanceolate, exceeding the tube. Corolla purple,

397 . F. chappar, Ram., h.f.b.i., ii. 227 . 
Habitat: — Eastern Himalayas, Behar, Ava. 
General habit and inflorescence just as that of Flemingia 
strobilifera (R. Br.) Branches terete, with a thin coating of 
adpressed hairs. Leaves nearly as broad as long, rotiindo- 
cordate, or broad cordate, acuminate, 2-4-in. Sub-coriaceous, green, 
glabrous above, minutely dewy, grey below ; petiole 1 Jin. long. 
Recemes often panicled. Rachis more woody than in F. Strobi- 
lifer, the pubescence shorter. Bracts firmer, less distihctly 
veined, much broader than long. Calyx ^-|in. ; teeth lanceolate, 
as long as the tube. Corolla twice the Calyx. Pod as in 
F. Strobilifer.
